Study Notes
Prayer
- A prayer used for guidance and learning
- Requests for guidance throughout the day
- Asking for the ability to see the world through God's eyes, listen with God's ears, and speak with God's mouth
- Seeking the heart to love and be kind to others
- Asking for God's protection over teachers, friends, and families
Earth Science Class - Quarter 4
- Shows a welcoming graphic for Earth Science class
- Quarter 4 is implied
Metamorphism
- Transformation of rocks and minerals due to changing temperature, pressure, and chemical conditions
- Agents/factors affecting metamorphism include: temperature, pressure, and water
Types of Metamorphism
- Regional Metamorphism: Associated with large-scale mountain-building processes
- Contact Metamorphism: Changes in rock caused by heat from a nearby magma body
- Burial Metamorphism: Layers in sedimentary basins; sediments increase in pressure and temperature without deformation. Zeolite is an example
- Hydrothermal Metamorphism: Change in chemical composition due to reaction with hot water; hot water accumulates dissolved metals and reacts with other rocks. Pegmatites and soapstones are examples
- Dynamic Metamorphism: Cataclastic metamorphism; rocks along fault lines scrape together, altering the rocks due to high pressure and low temperature. Mylonites are an example
Factors Influencing Rocks' Behaviour
- Compression: Rocks push or squeeze against each other, stress directed to the center
- Tension: Rocks pulled apart in opposite directions
- Shearing: Some portion of a plate at the edge may break away in different directions, making the plate smaller inside
- Confining: The crust becomes compact, leading to a smaller appearance
Oral Quiz
- When does metamorphism occur?: If the rock's mineral composition is transformed due to intense heat and pressure (option D is the correct answer)
- What is the primary agent responsible for metamorphism?: Heat and pressure (option C is the correct answer)
- Which of the following factors can contribute to the intensity of metamorphism?: Depth of burial, chemical reactions, and duration of metamorphic conditions (option D, all of the above is the correct answer)
- In which tectonic setting does regional metamorphism primarily occur?: Convergent boundaries (option B is the correct answer)
- Which of the following plate boundaries produces strong and devastating earthquakes?: Transform boundaries (option D is the correct answer)
Volcanism and Plutonism
- The objective includes describing and differentiating volcanic and plutonic rocks, and the process of volcanism and plutonism.
Volcanism
- The eruption of molten rock (magma) onto the surface of the Earth or a solid-surface planet
- Volcano: A vent or opening where molten rock, volcanic ash, and gases escape out onto the surface
- Plate movements usually form volcanoes along plate boundaries
Types of Volcanoes
- Composite Volcanoes: Form the tallest and largest volcanoes; highly explosive and dangerous
- Cinder Cone Volcanoes: Usually smaller and have smaller eruptions; form steep cone-shaped hills
- Shield Volcanoes: Widest volcanoes with gentle slopes due to low viscosity, or runny, lava
Volcanic Materials: Gas and Pyroclastic Materials
- Gases released during eruptions (water vapor, carbon dioxide, sulfur dioxide, hydrogen sulfide, and hydrochloric acid).
- Surface water into a volcanic system can greatly increase explosiveness.
Types of Volcanic Eruptions
- Hawaiian Eruptions: Fluid lava ejected; fire fountains or lava flows are seen
- Strombolian Eruptions: Short bursts of glowing lava from bursting gas bubbles at volcano vents
- Vulcanian Eruptions: Relatively small but violent explosions of viscous lava; columns of ash and gas, occasional pyroclastic flows
- Plinian Eruptions: Largest and most violent explosive eruptions; send columns of pulverized rock, ash, and gases miles into the atmosphere
Types of Lava Flows:
- Pahoehoe: Smooth and continuous lava crust; forms when effusion rate is low
- Aa: Rough and rubbly lava crust; common when silica content is high
- Pillow Lava: Forms when hot lava flows into water; creates tubes and bulbous rock shapes. Often under volcanoes that reach the surface.
- Blocky: Consists of large angular blocks of lava; often common if the lava has a higher silica content (basaltic, andesitic, or rhyolitic)
Closing Prayer
- A prayer of thanks to God for gifts and graces
- Affirming God as living and reigning
